SYNOPSIS
She shows up at the
hanger hoping to find someone to give her flying lessons. Every man there laughs at her except for one.
It was love at first site. He
feels that he cheated death during the war.
She understands why.
ROMANCE: I can’t count
the number of times that they reacted to each other’s body. Too many!!!
PARANORAL: Valkyries
HUMOR: Zero and not
really
WHAT I LIKED: Anytime that the Valkyries appeared and flying
adventures.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: Have you ever heard of “Our Gang” or “Little
Rascals”. Well, this book was written
more like the script for those shows.
Dialogue, dialogue, “I love you”…dialogue…sex…dialogue…sex…”I love
you”…dialogue…let’s go flying…dialogue, “I love you”. Well, you get the picture and tons and tons
and tons of drinking coffee (omgoodness).
TYPICAL ROMANCE STUFF:
Colorful and can be
considered OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE
Sexual content to include: Every second they were
having intercourse and drinking “coffee”.
This book gets (1) vroom
(1) engine sputter totaling (2) out of (5) Jeep Diva blog vrooms
WHY (2) STARS
Too much small talk
between the main characters and very little action and adventure. Read like a script from “Our Gang” aka
“Little Rascals.
Guy’s Angel
Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy
When a young woman
really believes the sky is the limit, amazing things can happen….
Lorraine Ryan wants to fly airplanes so she heads for the
local airstrip in 1925 to make her dream come true. Most of the flyboys think she’s cute but a
woman’s place is in the home, not the cockpit.
When Guy Richter steps up and offers to teach her to fly, she’s
captivated with both Guy and flight. He nicknames
her “Angel” and takes her up into that wild blue yonder. Before long, they’re deep in love.
Love, however, isn’t always enough……
Guy, a former World War I flying ace, is haunted by his
past. His demons include his war service, the death of his only brother in an
accident the previous year, and the Valkyries that he evaded in France who
trail him in the hopes that they can complete his destiny. But his dreams lie with Angel and as they
grow closer and closer, he soon realizes that if anyone can save him, it’s his
Angel.
